RADDY1993 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 This may be coincidence but over the last 2 days i have been playing around with my network and noticed that a certain setting on CC gave me great games and A+ BB on DSL. I chaned my bandwith to at least 5 different numbers and it kept giving me the same results as i stated above, so maybe you guys can try and see . So in CC set Upload Cap to 15% and Download Cap to 75% you never know it may work for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help to know what your bandwith settings are in the "set bandwith" boxes in order to recreate your configuration for testing. I cant tell if the measurements in your sig are before or after the CC settings. Would love to try if you provide the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincho31 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 just found my correct CC setting for a A+ BB on DSL. Download cap 65% Upload cap 85% my bandwith : 22 down/5up tried with your setting Raddy , and get a "A" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrizzy Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 If you can manage A+ Bufferbloat, the Preemptive algorithm in Congestion Control will usually get you up to at least a A in Quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Fios 50/50 and I need my DL slider to be below 50% to get the best BB score, and UL slider needs to be around 65%. How many devices are on your network ModBox?

Even at 60% i still see red in the Download/Upload meters for the Bufferbloat test. I need to be below 50% to get the best test results, yet ModBox can have over 100MB/s and have his sliders at 90%. I would think it would be easier to bloat the same router (we all have the same router after all so bloat specs should be the same) with 100+ MB/s than it would with 50MB/s?

Dillinger Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Can a smart person enlighten me on this? This leaves me out. But I do know that some folks are still testing BB with a wireless connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slingblade5 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm also on the comcast blast 150, so my typical speeds wide open are 180/24. I only have to throttle my download at 99% and my upload is untouched at 100% to get that result. It is odd, cause I don't live anywhere near a big city, backbone etc... My pings are the worst thing about my connection. On my "Set Bandwidth" I put in 182 and 25. That's the general results I get below... Edit: If it matters, I have a SB6190 modem, 8 upstream and 3 downstream bonded channels in my area. My grades before using the Duma to do anything are F, A+, A.

Smarter people than us both sir. I am definitely not using wifi to do my DSL reports speed test. I do have a ton of devices connected though there are 23 devices, however they're not all active at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all active, but are they open to helping themselves checking for updates and things like that? You may want to find a quiet 20 minutes, use the Device Manager to disable access for anything non-essential and give this another go. You may have a device that is frequently doing things that could be affecting you in subtle ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you have comcast's extreme 150 which they stopped offering because blast only gives 10 up and extreme 150 gives about 22 up... That said, I can also leave my download at 99 and get an A rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your router is setup correctly then you would be using a different algorithm for 50/50... I have 7 devices, reactive, 90% sliders, bandwidth set to 180/12, device prio default, turbo mode, everything is wired I tested with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to believe that my house is typical amount of connections, maybe a little on the higher side, but you're right, I should shut stuff off and make a note on how it affects the speedtest.

Dillinger Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 We have about 15 or so, but there are only two of us, so I suspect you are right in the ball park. Give that a try, it will at least give you an idea of a usable baseline that you can compare to going forward. I assume you are using/abusing the Hyper Lane like the rest of us, yeah?

They say to use preemptive with my speeds. It's a good point you've made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 You should try them both Double M. I have used them both and found, depending on the system, I can get better game plays in spite of the recommendation after the recent releases. PS4 I am using Reactive, but I was strictly Pre-Emptive on the XB1 for the longest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good point you've made Also I've found that the percentage doesn't scale accurately... For example if I put my download on 99% it drops my speed from 180 to about 155 1% of 180mbps is only 1.8mbps which should bring my speed down barely over 1mbps but it does not. Instead it drops to 155mbps at 99% so anything from 90% to 99% means no change in speed, but apparently changes the BB test outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS4 I am using Reactive, but I was strictly Pre-Emptive on the XB1 for the longest time. XBONE is Preemptive all the way, for sure. I use Reactive as the daily driver and switch to Preemptive for gaming. I will get into the mid to upper 60's UL/DL with Reactive. I've done BB tests on Reactive and by the time I see good BB scores my Quality scores are in the C to D range. Basically though with my home devices as they are I guess I need to reduce my bandwidth by a little over 50% to keep the buffer from BLOATATION. Also I've found that the percentage doesn't scale accurately... For example if I put my download on 99% it drops my speed from 180 to about 155 1% of 180mbps is only 1.8mbps which should bring my speed down barely over 1mbps but it does not. Instead it drops to 155mbps at 99% so anything from 90% to 99% means no change in speed, but apparently changes the BB test outcome. My sliders are accurate now after .6 update, but they were off similarly to yours for the .5 version. Not as drastic, but I imagine that has something to do with the amount of bandwidth you have available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slingblade5 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 How do you like the sb6190 modem thinking of buying it It was overkill for my situation. I only get 8 downstream bonded channels, and 3 up. I could of kept using my old sb6141 actually, or I could of just went with the SB6183 and still be doing the same thing. I used to just get speeds of 75/12, but a month or so ago I upgraded to triple play on comcast, just so I could get the higher speeds of 180/24. I'm not sure without researching it again, but I think my old 6141 might not of gave me my full speeds that I get now... I've always been a fan of the SB modems though, and you won't find anything bad about them on the dslreports forums. I'd just advise you go do a little research between the 6183 and the 6190, as the 6183 is cheaper and may be all you need. You can't go wrong with either of them though. Here's a link to a topic in the comcast HSI forums, but some good info about these modems in general no matter who your isp is, and if you look around you can find much more about them too. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r30602623-Equip-DO-i-need-to-upgrade-my-modem Good luck.
